UPDATE: This tablet is fantastic. I figured out how to transfer my books so all is well. I played movies with very clear picture and good volume. The battery life is amazing, especially considering all of the online pages I keep open all of the time.And it charges very quickly. I still recommend this as a reasonably priced tablet.I really like the Lenovo tablet so I replaced my old A4 with a new M8. Great screen, battery, RAM. My only complaint is that my Kindle App will not sync on the new tablet. I bought it so that I can read and do online stuff like I did with my old Lenovo. I am beyond frustrated made worse because I cannot contact anyone to get help. I am trying to be patient because this is the tablet that I want, but if I cannot use it to access my books, then I may as well return and get something else which will be a bummer, but a tablet that cannot access books is useless to me no matter how cool it is.

I love my Lenovo tablet! This tablet has a lot going for it. I was looking to replace my Dragon Touch, that only lasted 10 months, and the extra money it cost for this tablet is so worth it. I’ve also learned my lesson and got an extended warranty. I’ve just never needed extended warranties with my Kindles since they are such work horses and last a couple of years, at least. My husband uses an old Kindle of my daughters that has got to be at least 5 years old.I am writing this review as a quadriplegic with limited use of my hands. So some of the things I’m going to mention are a particular use for me, but I’m sure are great features for anyone.The screen is clear and bright and doesn’t cause eye strain for me. The brightness setting gives me lots of choice on how bright I want the screen. There is a built-in eye protection setting if you want to reduce the blue light coming from your screen. I do not use it because I prefer the brighter screen.The on screen keyboard gives me a lot more options for use than my Dragon Touch did. It is a good size and isn’t as overly sensitive as my Dragon Touch keyboard. It gives me a little more time to linger on a letter before it switches to the alternate keys (a verses ã). It also has a predictor pro built in which my last tablet did not have. The microphone setting, so that I can do speech to text, is very good. The keyboard also comes with its own clipboard setting.The speaker is acceptable, but then again, I’m not an audiophile who needs amazing speakers. I do have it hooked up to my Bose Bluetooth speaker, which gives me very nice sound. The speaker works for general web browsing and YouTube viewing.There is plenty of space for all my apps. I haven’t even inserted a microSD card, because I still have hordes of space left. It feels fast enough when loading and I haven’t noticed any lag time.I love the built-in setting which allows me to wake up my tablet by either double tapping it or raising it up. It’s very hard for me to be constantly pushing the power button to wake it up. This feature alone is a big deal for me.I like that there is a indicator light that tells me when my tablet is charging (red, charging – green, charged) which also can be set to flash when I get a notification. Both features can be disabled under the display settings. I would think that the flashing light might be very useful for the seeing impaired.It doesn’t take long to charge and holds a charge for a lot longer than my Dragon Touch. I also use a Kindle HD (which I love, but it’s obviously not Android) and my cell phone, so I do not use this for really long periods of time. Even with sporadic usage I get two days of use out of it before I have to charge it again. I also don’t notice any warmth or heat coming from the battery when I charge it.I’m sure as I get to know my tablet better I will find other settings and options to explore. Overall, I am very happy with my new tablet. Great job Lenovo!

Wow, Lenovo! You are killing it in the low end product line-up these days. I have an AMD-based Flex 14 and for the money its a great multi-purpose laptop. The Tab M8 continues the pattern of offering a great low-end price for very good value.I have been buying, returning, or reselling the spectrum of tablets for a long time in search of one that checks every box I want in a tablet: Inexpensive, reasonably high quality build, acceptable performance and features.First the huge surprise: The battery life is insanely good compared to just about any other tablet I’ve used. Screen-on time of roughly 16.5 hours at 50-60% brightness and still 15% battery left after a mix of games, browsing, reading PDFs and watching videos. This is just incredible and easily 2x or more the battery life I’m used to seeing in a cheap tablet. I could take this on a very long day of travelling and be reasonable sure I wouldn’t need to top up the charge.The resolution is sufficient, but nothing special at 1280×800. However PDFs and text is very readable and quite clear unless you are pressing it to your face so a higher res isn’t really necessary and would just negatively impact battery life for little gain.Performance is surprisingly good for a mediatek CPU. In the past the MTK CPUs I’ve used in inexpensive tablets have been severely lacking in performance, barely able to smoothly scroll a webpage, let alone play games and such. While this CPU benchmarks on the lower end of the spectrum, it still provides a surprising amount of punch and even fairly intense games are mostly smooth and playable.Warning: For netflix HD users, this tablet lacks the DRM chip needed to watch in HD. You can still watch Netflix, but I believe it tops out at DVD resolution or roughly 540p. Since the screen is only effectively 720p its really not that big of a deal for me.

I was a little Leary of the cheap price but when it arrived I was extremely happy with the quality. Mostly metal back with only 2 small strips of plastic around the corners. Once I logged in the screen was bright and clear and it immediately asked to update to Android 10 and the touch is very responsive. Now this isn’t the fastest of tablets but I’m only using it as a head unit for a work van so I can use Waze maps and stream music which it does flawlessly. Speaker is decent, WiFi, streaming and GPS work as they should. Overall I highly recommend for an entry level tablet.

Very pleased with the tablet. The 5Ghz wifi is very speedy. I had to return a Vankyo tablet, because it had only 2.4ghz wi fi, and 2.4ghz has only 11 channels which are very crowded in my apartment bldg. I added a 256k mini sd card as an extension of local storage (exfat storage). I had no difficulty adding the Kindle app or anything else from the Google play store, and I don’t think you will either. Pairing with bluetooth headphones went very smoothly. The camera has no flash, but I do not intend to use the tablet as a camera, as a general rule. Someone said the Kindle app would not work for him. I do not think you will have that problem. Netflix works very well. In the technical specifications there is an error. The storage is listed as 2GB, while for the Samsung tablet it is listed as 32GB. In reality, both have 32GB ROM. The 2GB figure refers to RAM. There are only 6 reviews of the tablet. I don’t understand why. I would encourage you to buy it. It is extremely unlikely you will return it.

Trying to keeping this short and sweet. I’m not a fan of overpriced Apple products. I bought a Fire tablet for a gift prior and was less than impressed. I have a Samsung Tab 2 that is YEARS old and keeps up with the Fire Tablet (but the OS is obsolete) so here we are. This tablet preforms well and has a low cost. Easily comparable to tablets twice the price or more. Got my wife a Samsung tablet as a gift a year ago & this tablet is 1/3rd the price but feels just as good.This isn’t “top of the line” but it’s not bottom of the barrel. It’s entey level, but without sacrificing usefulness or its purpose. With technology there’s plenty of “waste” in cost vs performance in today’s world. This is on par with use for kids, teens, college age or for clients when you need to use a tablet for business. Also a plus, no “bloatware” like other brands.Would easily buy and recommend to others.Only downside is minimal 3rd party case selection since it’s not a popular/hyped item in comparison.

This tablet is amazing. Crisp and clear display. It’s fast enough to handle my games. No lagging. The best best part about it is the battery life. Literally lasts the whole day. Best value for your money. Will be upgrading to the 10 inch soon and pass on this one to my son. I love it!!!!
